shelling airstrikes wreaked havoc across gaza for six trade day as israel decrees the strib fair game palestinian medics say a quarter of fatalities are children. and israel could be just hours away from the gaza ground invasion having issued hamas with a six point out a made in order to overt any land war also. there's a whole raft of legislation which stops you show you what you believe we don't have freedom of speech or of the brits why for their right to protest as a public order act aims to outlaw even the most promise of insults regardless of whether anyone is actually offended. last safe landing three international space

station crew members touched down in the snowy lands of kazakstan after over to earth for four months. five pm here in moscow you're live with r t israel continues to shower gaza with rockets from both a and c. with the number of killed now strikes almost doubling within the past day the palestinian death toll reportedly exceeds ninety year on top of them civilians including women and children journalist harry fear who's inside gaza tells us what he's witnessed so far this report contains some disturbing images. the smalling the death toll has risen here. as a writes it is exciting writes this is as israel targets who it considers terrorist

militants particular of the hamas hamas is militant wing here in gaza it's doing so in one of the most densely populated places in the gaza strip home to more than one point five million palestinians yesterday was the deadliest attack since the beginning of operation pillar of cloud we heard yesterday of the al the lone massacre in which more than four children were killed that is as israel mistakenly struck a civilian building as it was hoping to assassinate the leader of the masses a rocket launching unit between sunday and monday that has been what palestinians gazans are calling another massacre of the family. of a five year old boy being killed a nineteen year old woman and a thirty eight year old man with more than forty injured in that one of the most deadliest strikes here in gaza of the most recent days having visited the hospitals here for example of the most the strongest hospital here in gaza. what we're saying is from a human point of view fifty percent of the people coming in at least being children

crying for their parents as they come in with horrific banding injuries when i go to the mortuary i'm seeing more than fifty percent of the people the children and as every day passes we are into day six the toll on the health system is going to get more as those injured still being taken care of as that number increases i say over nine hundred fifty now. and the bloodshed could have to worsen as israel wants it's hours not days before it intensifies the attacks on gaza the state issued a thirty six hour all to maintain demand in that hamas stop firing rockets into israeli territory archie policia brings us more from tel aviv. those are the most ominous words we've heard so far that do suggest that the possibility of some kind of ground offensive could be imminent when we talk about the effects of what has been happening since wednesday in israel three israeli civilians have so far who killed rashmi around a dozen have been injured people have been talking about an imminent ground

offensive since wednesday we know that roughly seventy five thousand reserve soldiers have been called out they and the regular army have been massing along the israel gaza border we have seen their movement of tanks and armored personnel vehicles for days now this certainly is a sense particularly because the army has closed all roads around gaza that there is something on the go there have also been four straight days of rockets being fired into tel aviv speaking to people here in tel aviv something has shifted i'm hearing more and more israelis say that they are supporting a ground offensive that they believe it's the only one and only way that militants in gaza can once and for all be dealt with the problem though is that tel aviv is widely aware that if infected launches such an offensive it will lose international sympathy it's hurt these warnings particularly from the government of the u.k. but israel is relying on the united states as it has in the process to back it up we are also hearing more and more many israelis voiced the opinion that they

believe that god is in this on not innocent and this comes from the point of view that we are looking at a rising civilian death count in gaza what i'm hearing israelis tell me is that it is gazans that you take to the hamas government and as a result they want to live with the consequences this is almost a justification for the israeli army getting it wrong so frequently now in what it says all targeted killings that in fact when it lands uprooting and killing civilians. from the palestinian center for human rights as a as a ground invasion is a terrifying prospect for those who remember the israeli offensive four years ago. there is widespread fear among the among the people here the prospect of a ground invasion is really very frightening for people because it's inevitable that the civilian casualties will rise rapidly if that occurs and people here are still traumatized by the memory of operation cast lead which happened less than four years ago in which more than eleven hundred civilians lost their lives and

many many more were injured humanitarian crisis is imminent in relation to the hospitals and the supplies that they have i visited a hospital on thursday which was second day of. this current escalation and spoke with the director general of the hospital there and he advised me that they on an ongoing. sorry. were just interrupted there on an ongoing basis. that. they are always short of regular medical supplies. because the situation has worsened their lack of lacking in such basic supplies as antibiotics i.v. fluids. very basic medical supplies that they require in order to keep this we're. looking after the palestinian people who are being continually injuries and severely wounded so this situation is very grim in relation to the hospitals israeli jets have also bombed do you media complex and. by foreign and local

journalists injuring at least six archies arabic channel was among those affected as one of its correspondents told us. not happen. no one expected this during the strikes power supplies often get cut off and then it becomes really difficult for us to find fuel for the generator at that moment we decided to take a break in our working pro look for gas so that we can continue working early in the morning we left at around one am and had to at all have some of our friends are now in hospital just a little while ago there was a press conference where it was said that such an attack must be completely ruled out as a journalist can become targets for strikes the correspondent should share what he or she sees with the world even israeli journalists report from gaza on its own acceptable that media workers get attacked in such a way in situations like this we usually don't go to our homes just like we did during the hostilities of two thousand and eight in two thousand and nine even

though we know this is really dangerous up to the point of a ground operation however we prefer to stay at the office using any chance to do our job whenever the electricity comes on when the electricity was off we decided to go look for generator fuel and that's what saved us we're talking about four tower blocks in gaza that have been used by media outlets since two thousand during the war in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine israel struck these buildings to some of our colleagues were injured and we know that we do a dangerous job. israel though maintains that it's in tile peroration is aimed only at crippling come us but one question to over the risk that to journalists by israeli strikes on international media offices military spokesperson avatar label that said it was on the reporter's own heads. we're talking about two media buildings indeed but on the roofs of these media buildings hamas wisely positioned

a whole system of communications and electronics for its own personal or operational work we targeted only these and tenors these communications center and i spread films earlier today showing this exactly and you can see an accurate hit on the roof none of the floors were targeted of course there was a little bit of. it as a result of the explosive some windows shattered and so on i think that if a journalist chooses to locate himself near hamas facility that's a mistake hamas is star getting civilians we are not looking to target civilians we are targeting terrorists while blockade there is a border to reject the rougher border it's opened do you know that every day we allow patients from gaza to get hospitalization in israel despite the rocket fire do you know that we supply electricity to gaza we supply truckloads with supplies every day even today it's a matter of fact more than one hundred thirty trucks who entered gaza with

a variety of supplies according to the requests despite of the rocket fire what other country in the world would act this way one of hamas' counter demands are to israel's ultimatum is an end to the gaza blockade a long running siege of that has pulled the strip into poverty and chris gunness off from the u.n. says the recent turmoil is dragging the area towards a humanitarian disaster. we were hearing as others that the situation in shifa hospital is deteriorating very rapidly and let's not forget that even before this latest flare up in violence shifa hospital had been hit by the blockade there was a lack of medicines there was a lack of training a lack of equipment so an already bad situation in that hospital one of the largest in the occupied palestinian territory has been made worse there are shortages according to the world health organization of essential and lifesaving drugs what we're seeing in gaza is the result of political failure we call on the politicians

and the people who are able to make peace to redouble their efforts to do so because for every hour that goes past another child another woman another civilian the elderly the sick the dying they are in harm's way it's a situation which we in the united nations and in under find unacceptable in must end and it must and forthwith this latest outburst of violence in the holy land has been left in many on the sidelines and already the answer not against gaza is spawning protest a worldwide activists and demonstrators in a number of countries have rallied to decry the dads and to demand an immediate end to the fighting. that russia pledges to raise or the latest guys are friends and at the when paul official and public reaction and ongoing coverage of the situation both in israel and gaza on our website.

i'll be back with other news in a couple of minutes to stay with us. you can tell a russian siberian in the blink of an. anthropologist. those days siberians were different clothes different food. different animals. my journey began in two men but the big city was all shiny skyscrapers and shopping malls much like any other prosperous russian. so i decided to. a small town just outside.

dumplings came from here to dominate the russian cuisine but only in siberia. with cabbage and making sure you can have as a start the main dish. although it may draw. most people in siberia see nothing wrong with hunting only if you decide to participate. when you look upon martin. as in the middle of a swamp only accessible by.

it's inhabited by siberian a large muslim minority that migrated head before the russians. and this. israel. maybe not this. awful tourist brochures but distinctive enough to show that after all these years cyber is still not quite like anywhere else. you're watching are actually good to have you with us when it comes to speaking their minds of the british are finding it harder than ever to voice their opinions i campaign to overturn a stifling public order act is heating up with critics say it denies its people their basic rights of free speech r.t.

sarah for its reports. brits are an ounce of sense of humor and here in this country we love a good provoking to debate so you would think that free speech would be protected and we'd be able to sell our opinions from the very right. there's a whole raft of legislation which stops you saying what you believe it we don't have freedom of speech anymore and one piece of blue in particular is section five of the public order act one i suppose is causing the problem while the slower has been used for two particular why use force to stifle inconvenient political views so views which are against islam against christianity which are against the equality of homosexuals so people who say that sort of stuff can be arrested the second way it's been used by the police. to arrest if. they see being caught how simply someone who insulted scientology by calling it

a dangerous cult and wait for it someone who called the police. on the six and five of the public order there's a requirement to praise that the person intended any negative consequences from something they said oh did i only have to be likely to have caused offense so i could be prosecuted for saying or doing something even if no one was actually offended but the who's probably got a very pretty quickly please on the receiving end of this law i've had to live with the consequences try to call cases many of which are eventually thrown out to appeal. the taxpayer pretty penny i've been a victim to when i protested against islamist extremists who were advocating killing gay people and women have sex outside of marriage i was prosecuted for this alleged crime. really in a free society insults are not nice but they shouldn't be criminal offenses when it comes to defending free speech many feel what we're actually talking about is

protecting our rights to the fair. the essence of democracy your sense of democracy some people wondering around certain. and smiling at one another it's about informed debate about a whole range of issues a must and should be off limits increasingly bizarre cases where the section five will be led to huge public outcry the campaign to get the little changed. whether it was people or it is souls people speech must be free is the fact that so many people in this country believe that we see in such a fierce fight defending our rights to say whatever we want whenever the we want to serve. and it seems that in some parts of america obama supporters are in considered to responsible enough to own firearms if that's the opinion of one gun shop owner in arizona if you spend all democrat very just from entering his store. and unexpected discovery in scotland as construction workers in

edinburgh on earth a prehistoric house shedding light on the lives of the very first. three crewmembers from the international space station have successfully returned to the after spending four months in space thomas reports. but i can say that so you see i'm a zero five am has landed safely and it has brought with it the s.s. expedition thirty three crew with them sunny williams from the usa. to from japan and europe go from russia now you know making it from space to earth is an exact science but it's never routine in fact let me tell you a little bit about what happened the undocked about two twenty six am moscow time fire the rockets at four fifty eight which brought in nearly just under an hour

long process of fall to the earth through the atmosphere from about sixty three miles in above the earth's surface in a rare pre-dawn in the dark a landing in the. stands step where it's extremely cold and there is snow on the ground and that landing happened at about five fifty three moscow time now what happens is when that capsule hits the ground it launches a series of ground vehicles about twelve helicopters and three fixed wing aircraft to go looking for the crew they have now been recovered and are safely back and earth after one hundred twenty seven days in space well in space they did educational as well as scientific and medical experiments they even did maintenance on what is a space aquarium with actual fish in space and they docked with a commercial spacecraft as well as performed at three different spacewalks so never

a dull moment always something to do up there in space at the international space station. in other world news their congolese government have rejected a rebel ultimatum to start direct talks within twenty four hours a militant group is demanding that the eastern city of goma be militarized otherwise threatening to take it by force their master on the outskirts of the city despite efforts by un peacekeepers and government troops to halt the progress an official spokesperson has accused neighboring rwanda of supporting the rebels meanwhile civilians have joined the government forces as the international community voices deep concern about the fighting. nato will assist in any way necessary in protecting turkey's border with syria according to the secretary general of the alliance is expected to request patriot missiles in order to bolster anti aircraft defenses the turkish government has been in intense talks with nato after a number of syrian shells landed in its territory the united states the netherlands

and germany are the only countries able to supply the necessary. rock obama is income for the final leg of his stall of asia earlier he became the first serving u.s. president to visit my ma raising political reform there but insisting the country still has much further to go to some experts suggest the tories part of america's attempts to wrestle influence in the region away from china the relationship between the two superpowers is up for discussion in peter lavelle's cross-talk program coming up later here on r.t. . for the time being still washington is putting a lot of. effort to reassure china it is not trying to do religious groups but to some degree control it to make it manageable yes the united states is reassuring china but if there is a domestic opposition in china similar to what happened in iran in two thousand and

nine or what happened in syria or what happened in china in one nine hundred eighty nine. with tiananmen you'll see it the whole western media and the u.s. government turned suddenly sharply i've to support that opposition against the chinese communist party that's an underlying part of the politics and i think the chinese government knows that. shortly after the break archie special report on how a golden hunter's dream turns into a living hell. culture is that so much about the taxpayers' money maintaining it is a charade to me because a lot of people out here in china who successfully transition did fell through another leadership change the last decade has witnessed this country transformed a tremendous speed.

he used to use. to. tell you to leave. me alone both the war lords walgett him and oats we have a lot of illegal call groups of the blue collar jews and the sluices also argues in the whole more right enough to just my mouth it was like many of them out h. that wasn't forced marriage it's just muddy when i was fourteen yes although you can liberate other women and you certainly can't do it through the barrel of a gun only effective social changes can be because afghans themselves

afghan men and women. cannot cross paths. but. it's a position to actually stop people in the obama talking about how much they care about the women of afghanistan it's not true they don't care about the women of afghanistan. do we speak your language or not advance. music programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn it into angles kiddies stories. for you here. then sure i'll teach spanish to find out more visit. all tito's comb.

so.

well you are father. is the head of our family. our parents have five daughters and four sons they are tile a chimera elmira an hour an hour. and coach emberg journey. and. my brother a kill me is go on he is not with us anymore. back is thirty two his name means golden in the car good language as the youngest son in the family of gold mine as tradition demands that he must live in his parents' house but only a year ago that was his younger brother's responsibility he died this spring hill

went up into the mountains and hanged himself no one knows why they rarely talk about akio now he's remembered only in their prayer as committing suicide is considered a sin and brings shame on a family but they have no time to mourn winter is coming so they must pan for gold before the rivers freeze over. gold miners work by the riverside. he will come over to them and then make a purchase. whenever i can i exchange for food i mean. has taken this road from his home city of osh in southern kyrgyzstan to the remote chad cull district many times the journey is long difficult and can be dangerous.

i've covered the road for most all come down to the valley now compared to america this is like kurdistan's alaska people don't come here unless they really have to or. and delmas certainly does have to he knows his efforts will pay off because an indian summer is the best time to buy the precious metal so mine is a preparing for the coming winter they'll need money for food clothing and vodka. i simply know this area in these people. this time of year the sheep and goats return from the past just because the rivers in those fields are the richest in gold. so they've planned people head by downhill. by then they usually have about ten to fifteen grams each so i buy a lot of the time. about

fifteen years ago geologist arrived here the senior geologist name was patrol rich and they discovered gold here and first the police banned us from banning but we went to the local authorities and asked for their permission and saying we had no work so we wanted to at least gather some golden. bear a large not gets in the river then but now there is little gold left to get someone should go high in the mountains. we start at eight or ten am and finish at four or five pm. on some days the time passes by.
